 Asj Johnson 2007-08-08 . chapter 1Wow... Best of the three. ^_^
It was so realistic... I can seriously believe that really happened in the manga... Marik really would have known Joey’s mind... Know his deepest desires and use them against him - so in character for Marik. And those desires, although Joey’s friendship won the battle before, seemed very true - Joey’s wish was to become a true duelist, right? That meant that he wanted power and recognition... The description was wonderful, too. I could picture so many things so clearly in my head. When Mai was mentioned, I could picture what that flashback thingy would look like on TV. How you described their faces and voices was very nice (I wish you’d tell me how you figure out what words to use to do that, since I can’t seem to do it...). The end, while reading, I wondered if it would be very good or not, and you actually found a way to make it very true to the show/manga. I mean, Marik tried going for Odion over and over and Yami or someone would always show up in the nick of time - just like in this. It was wonderful...
The very end, though, I was a little confused about. It seemed like Joey would go along with Marik, but he couldn’t or else it wouldn’t go in with the storyline. If you gave a reason for Joey not accepting Marik’s offer, I think it could have been better.
Oh, and one criticism... It was very long. It seemed like it took forever to get halfway down the page... But, at least it was interesting, unlike some long and boring stories, so it almost makes up for it.
Well, I hope the others like that psychological stuff as much as I do. ^_^ You deserve the majority for this round. |
